Can an amiibo kick out a villager?

Yes, Amiibo villagers can move out in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but they often stay longer or are harder to get to leave than normal villagers, sometimes requiring you to invite a new Amiibo villager to force them out, though this can be sped up by time-traveling. While some players report Amiibo villagers never asking to leave, others successfully have them move by either waiting for a natural "thought bubble" (sometimes after time travel) or by using the Amiibo card of a different villager to kick them out, which is often the most efficient method.
